S.F. Civil Grand Jury Targets Port, World Cup, and Anthony Friedkin's "The Gay Essay"S.F. Civil Grand Jury Targets Port
A Civil Grand Jury report released this week criticizes the Port of San Francisco for its management of the scenic waterfront. It names several high-profile projects that have made waves, including America's Cup and the Washington Street development proposal. It also says the mayor's office has too much influence and that insufficient opportunity for public review contributed to recent Port development failures.

World Cup
Soccer fans are getting their thrills, made all the sweeter by America's win over Ghana Monday in the World Cup. Crowds are gathering around televisions and some are catching games at the Civic Center in San Francisco on an outdoor screen. The global event is generating much excitement among international communities in the Bay Area and setting TV viewing records nationwide.

Anthony Friedkin: The Gay Essay
Next weekend marks the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York City, the spark that touched off the Gay Liberation movement. As the LGBT community prepares to celebrate "Pride Week" in San Francisco, the de Young Museum presents a new photography exhibit of Anthony Friedkin's work, "The Gay Essay." Friedkin captured provocative black and white images of queer life in San Francisco and L.A. in the late 1960s and early 70s, when homosexuality was still illegal in California. It took more than 40 years for Friedkin's project to get a full public exhibition. Scott Shafer reports.

What happens if you are fortunate enough to make it past year one? How do you stay relevant? Do you keep serving what made you famous? Do you branch out and try something totally new? These are questions for reflection as April and her business partner, Ken Friedman, explore the challenges of opening their first out-of-state venture in San Francisco: Tosca. April is inspired by a local morning bun, and she's busy in the kitchen testing and tasting dishes for her new menu.

Moyers & Company
[#324H]
Chaos In IraqAs militant Islamic forces intent on the creation of a Mideast-wide theocracy sweep across Iraq with little or no resistance, the escalating bloodbath has triggered a renewed debate on how muscular our foreign policy must be. This week, Bill Moyers speaks with historian and combat veteran Andrew Bacevich about what the crisis in Iraq tells us about America's role in the world. Many of the same neoconservatives who beat the drum of war in 2003 want to see boots on the ground in Iraq once again. One of their leading lights, Robert Kagan of the Brookings Institution, argues that the US once had "a sense of global responsibility that equated American interests with the interests of many others around the world." Bacevich disagrees. "Phrases like 'world order' and 'global responsibility' obfuscate," he writes. "Purporting to clarify, they merely gloss over." "If Americans appear disinclined to have a go at overthrowing Syria's Assad or at restoring the Crimea to Ukrainian control, it's due to their common-sense assessment of what US policy in very recent years has produced," he says. Our policy in Iraq has "destabilized much of the greater Middle East while exacerbating anti-Americanism across the Islamic world." Andrew Bacevich is a professor of history and international relations at Boston University. A graduate of the US Military Academy, he received his Ph.D. in American Diplomatic History from Princeton University. Before joining the faculty of Boston University, served taught at West Point and Johns Hopkins University. Among his many articles and books, Bacevich is most recently the editor of The Short American Century: A Postmortem and author of Breach of Trust: How Americans Failed Their Soldiers and Their Country.duration 26:46
